In my search for decorations for my son’s Star Wars themed birthday party I found precious little in stores and what I found online wasn’t exactly cheap and I still had to use my own printer ink, paper, and time to put it together… so I made it myself and now I get to share it with you for FREE!

An example of what the yellow and black bunting looks like.

I printed everything on white cardstock. The buntings are quite large – there are two pieces per sheet. After I cut each piece out I scored and folded each on a half inch from the top over the twine and taped it. Other ways you could hang it are to punch holes in it and string the twine through, or use clothes pins or other clips to attach it, or you might choose to hang them a different way than on a string.

It’s all about the themed drinks! Be sure to download the pdf for the best quality.

I made both buntings and hung one over the dessert table and one over the dinner table. They looked really crisp and nice.

Strange Magic, the new animated film by George Lucas hit theaters Friday, January 23. If your child is wild about the movie, why not consider a Strange Magic-themed birthday party? Listed below are links to printable PDFs that can help you to plan the perfect party from beginning to end.

Originally slated to go straight to video, Disney will soon be releasing the movie Planes in theaters nationwide. The film will be a 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. Unfortunately, Dusty’s is afraid of heights and needs help so he turns to a seasoned naval aviator for help and puts his courage to the test. My kids can’t wait to see the movie. In fact, I’m considering taking my 3-year-old for his real, official movie theater experience!Here’s a clip from the movie:

And if your kids are looking to do some Planes-inspired crafts for Father’s Day, Disney has assembled some fun paper airplane instructions and more all in one place. Click below for the fun.

Has Sofia the First mania hit your house? It sure has hit mine! Nearly every Friday night when I pick her up, my three year old daughter Emma asks; “is it new Sofia night?” If you haven’t yet shared Sofia with your prince or princess I cannot recommend it highly enough (click here for my previous review).

A television movie featuring Sofia and her road to becoming a princess aired in November and was watched by over 5 million viewers. The weekly animated Sofia the First series aired on Disney Junior and Disney Channel in January and has become wildly popular; so much so that Disney has announced a second season. Princess Sofia is a great role model for young girls. She is kind and caring and learns life lessons such as honesty, kindness, and friendship in each episode. One of my favorite things about watching the show is the ability to revisit Disney princess characters from the past such as Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty who are the headmistresses of Sofia’s school.

If you haven’t yet seen Sofia the First or missed the premiere episode the release of the Sofia The First: Once Upon a Princess DVD comes at a great time. Also included with the DVD is a Princess in Training Activity Kit complete with stickers and tiaras that can be decorated to your child’s liking. One of our weekly movie nights consisted of a Sofia the First viewing party where Emma loved wearing the crown she had decorated.

We are giving away a copy of the Sofia the First: Once upon a Princess DVD this week on Babes in Disneyland. To enter, use the Rafflecopter form below!

I’ve been in search of a quality kid-sized table and chair set for months so that my son would have a place for doing crafts, enjoying snacks, and playing with his prized train set. I wanted something that can stand up to the antics of a rambunctious toddler, yet blend in well with our existing furniture and décor since we don’t have a separate play room.

This toddler-sized table and chair set is made of solid wood and includes a table, three chairs and a stool.

Svan’s Play-with-Me Toddler Table and Chairs fit the bill and have exceeded all of my expectations. The set includes a table, three chairs, and a stool that is sturdy enough to hold an adult, so mom and dad can get in on the fun right alongside their child (seriously—all five pieces carry a 250-pound weight rating!). First of all, it was easy to assemble—or so my husband tells me, since that was his job—and is a very well-made piece of furniture, crafted from solid birch wood. It’s also easy to clean. I simply wipe it with a damp cloth after any particularly messy art projects or snack mishaps. If your little one needs more floor space for playtime adventures, the stool can slide under the table and the chairs and stool are stackable, making for easy storage.

The set is shown here in the Espresso finish.

My favorite feature about the set is its modern design, complimenting any décor, whether it is intended for a play room, bedroom, or living room space. It’s functional but also quite beautiful, which is not an easy feat in the world of toddler and kid gear! The table comes in three finish options: Natural, Cherry and Espresso. We already owned the Svan Baby High Chair, which we chose for its attractive, ergonomic bentwood design and ability to convert from a high chair to a full-size adult chair, so this toddler table and chair set was the perfect addition to our home. Svan’s products are just as sturdy as they are stylish, so parents don’t have to feel like they need to be hidden away in a back room when company comes.

The Svan Play-with-Me Toddler Table and Chair set is a fabulous gift option for the children in your life this holiday season. It retails for $199, but unlike a lot of children’s furniture, it is built to last through years of games, tea parties, crafts, homework and meals AND is something you can proudly display in your home. Please go to Svan’s website for a list of retailers that sell Svan’s top-rated products (including Bed Bath and Beyond,Toys R Us, and Diapers.com, which includes free shipping), and follow Svan on Twitter for the latest news and information on the company’s outstanding products. Also, be sure to visit Svan on Facebook to enter the “Come Play with Svan” promotion. You could win your very own Play-with-Me Toddler Table and Chair set and other great prizes! Hurry, because the contest ends Dec. 21!
